Wilger 1/2” & 1” Stainless Steel Tube - For QN100 & QF100 Fittings
Larger Inside Diameter
Inside diameter is larger to accommodate higher flow rates
1” Stainless Steel Tubing Shares 1” sch40 pipe outside diameter (1.315” OD.) with larger 1.25” inside diameter
Sprayer Tube Shipping Consideration - Length
Depending on firm requirement for sprayer tube length, shipping costs are less expensive for tubes that are less than 11’ (132”) in length.
Picking the Correct Style of Tube End & Length
Rolled End for Cost-Effective Manufacturing Tube ends are rolled instead of threaded to minimize downtime, and thread leaking/failure
With many different sprayer boom designs, it is important to identify key differences that will determine what length and configuration of boom tube that is required.
Simplify the process by starting from the narrowest tube possible, with additional length included onto the ends as required for configuration or fittings.
The below examples are styles of ‘ends’ of tubes that are commonly needed.
Outlet spacing for the examples is 20”, but the same concept applies for any outlet spacing.
Standard Tube Ends (2”)
Tubes that have 2” of tube after the last nozzle body are commonly used with QN100 or QF100 plumbing parts.
20”
Pre-punched Outlet Spacing
Sprayer tubes are commonly pre-punched to 20” nozzle spacing, but also available in pre-punched to 10”, 15”, 30” or custom spacing as required.
COMBO-RATE Boom End Flush Valve Ends (18”)
The CR BEFV replaces the last nozzle body, and from the end of tube, requires 2” to the nozzle body center, so an 18” end length is required.
20” 20”
! 18” 18” !
! Remember the number of outlet holes on the tube would be 1 less for each Combo-Rate boom end flush valve used.
For Recirculating Booms Compatible boom fittings & tubing for building recirculating booms
1/2” Stainless Steel Tubing Shares 1/2” sch40 pipe outside diameter (0.84” OD.) with larger 0.788” inside diameter
Lighter 1” Boom = Less Fuel weighs 66% of aluminum weighs 23% of sch40 pipe Lighter than hose
Lighter 1/2” Boom = Less Fuel weighs 80% of aluminum weighs 28% of sch40 pipe Lighter than hose
Center-fed Section Ends (8” or 8.25”)
Tubes that are center-fed with Tees require a pair of longer tube sides to maintain proper 20” spacing with a 4” (QN100) or 3.5”(QF100) wide tee.
20”
8.25” 3.5” 8.25”
10” Ends for Tube to Tube SST
For situations that require two smaller tubes to be joined tube to tube, the 10” ends maintain 20” spacing between the last nozzle bodies
10” 10”
Quick-Flange (QF100) Fittings
A series of flanged adapters that convert either a rolled-end tube (like SST) or other 1.315” OD tube/pipe to
a common 1” flange and tool-free clamp system.
Quick Nut (QN100 & QN50) Fittings
Available for 1” boom sizes.
A series of quick couplers that use the rolled end to connect to a variety of sweep sprayer fittings to maximize flow capacity and boom hygiene.
Available in both 1” & 1/2” boom sizes.
